Psaki dodges on whether Biden was 'honest' when he said advisers all supported his Afghan pullout plan
Fox News
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki declined to directly answer if President Joe Biden was being “honest” earlier this year when he said in an interview that none of his advisers recommended leaving 2,500 troops in Afghanistan.
"First of all, I’m not going to get into details on private advice the president gets from his national security team or military advisers," Psaki responded. "What is clear is that the president asked for – welcomed – candid and non-sugar-coated advice on Afghanistan and what we should do given what we walked into."
Psaki then shifted the blame to former President Donald Trump and his previously negotiated withdrawal target date of May 1.
